“Mikayla responded to a last minute request for our 1 year Russell Terrier. She arrived early, which we really appreciated, so we had time for a meet and greet. She is very knowledgeable about various breeds and cared for Ella as if she was her own family member. Her dog training experience was very helpful and appreciated since Ella has only been in our family for 4 weeks. We felt Ella was in good hands while we were away. We highly recommend Mikayla for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I grew up in a household filled with pets ranging from dogs and cats to turtles and birds. Taking care of animals has never been a chore to me, but a way to connect with them and enjoy their company. I am currently a student with a part-time job but am looking for an additional side job to occupy my time. I am available Thursday afternoons, weekends, and late nights. I am very respectful of individual needs and desires. I care that each animal receives the specific care it requires to stay happy and healthy.
